About this listen

What happens when a man of today's overconnected world sets off alone across the Pacific at the age of 71? Christian Williams, a veteran sailor and writer, planned a 6,000-mile voyage as a test of his own seamanship and endurance, and to fulfill a lifelong goal. But he found his focus quickly turning from the surrounding sea to all of us. Is anyone the same person when no one else is there? Do we dare to find out? In a new world of soaring seabirds, violent storms, and majestic emptiness, Williams discovered answers to questions he had never asked about who we are, why we sail, and the universal fear of being alone.

Alone Together is a complete technical course in offshore sailing technique and yacht preparation, and a philosophical inquiry into what it takes to be truly alive in the 21st century.

Christian has a way with writing that takes the reader into his world. I listen and read and watch daily as I experience my own sailing and life adventures. He is a gift.

A beautiful journey

At first we weren’t too sure about listening to this whole book but it didn’t take long till we were right there sailing along with Christian. Thoroughly enjoyed this read and didn’t want it to end. We would recommend this book !!!

Thanks for sharing the interesting details of you passages. It was of great interest to a future blue water cruiser. Amazing writing and soothing spoken word made time fly and I'm sad it it already over.

A wonderful read (or listen in my case)

This book has far surpassed my expectations. Williams takes us on an amazing voyage on Thelonius and engages us in such interesting conversations! This book at once inspires me to sail and cautions me to learn more and prepare thoroughly. More importantly it challenges me to consider myself and my relationships with my environment and especially with those I know and love. Thank you Mr Williams for sharing this with us.

What a trip!
